Lita Bid Stepped Up

Last updated : 27 July 2009 By Joe Harris
Lita, released by Reading in May would be viewed as a perfect capture to bolster City's attacking line, especially with top scorer Matty Fryatt's fitness in doubt.

BBC Radio Leicester have reported that Lita is weighing up his options before committing himself to a deal at the Walkers Stadium, a deal that would see the striker rekindle his working partnership with Nigel Pearson, who coached Lita at England youth level.

Meanwhile, Nigel Pearson is allegedly still chasing experienced goal scorer Kevin Phillips, who has declared his interest in playing regular football, something that cannot be guaranteed at Premiership new boys Birmingham City.
